The truck type differential is to blame for the poor traction as far as I am concerned. They are designed to put power to the wheel/track with the least amount of traction, causing it to spin and overall loss of steering.

I remember, years back, having trouble getting my carrier to climb a 3 foot rise of manure and straw so I could park it in the cattle shed. One track would just spin and the vehicle would start to turn sideways.

While I have not driven a T-1
6, I can only imagine that the steering on those, with it's controlled differential, would be less lethal.
